Chippenham's midfield looks utterly threadbare against what Swindon are putting out here, and I find a grim, hollow satisfaction in knowing that Rodrigo Fernández will simply walk through the centre of the park unopposed, which is somehow both impressive and meaningless. Evan Jones will spend the afternoon chasing shadows, and I speak from bitter personal experience when I say that chasing shadows is an exhausting and entirely futile pursuit. Three estimated attacks for Chippenham — three — which is, fittingly, almost exactly the number of reasons I have to feel optimistic about anything.

Chippenham are walking into a fortress tonight — Supermarine's forward line is going to tear through that defensive shape like a chainsaw through silence. Leo O'Donnell off the bench could be the difference-maker if Chippenham try to dig in and absorb pressure in the second half. This is Supermarine's home turf and they will not be denied.
